Treats From Friends

How wonderful to be given gifts that I can use to make more gifts, for the gift that keeps on giving.

A wonderful friend was given a set of silver knife forks and spoons, so she has sent them my way

I make these sets called witchy poo forks, which hang in windows, I will hopefully have these done by next week, and then you can see...

So I need to get out my hammer and pliers and this time I will have the knives engraved...

Im loving my creative work at the moment, I love working, so keeping busy busy keeps me a bit sane, I have done relaxing to death the last few months and can sit still no more!

So this fork in my road is leading me down a huge healing path where Im learning so much about myself.  Although it has been a scarey ride, I am loving this stage for what I have been shown...

and let me show you these....

another wonderful friend brought me a whole heap of doilies at a market she held.  Doilies have become one of my favorite finds over the last few years....

Someone made these... and yes most are probably in a factory somewhere but the other ones have been carefully embroidered and laced and knotted by old and young hands, taking care to match sets, find the right colours and fabrics, follow patterns or just their own designs....

While they work they are thinking so that their thoughts are woven into every piece they do.  How amazing to be able to use Phychometry (visions of its history from holding objects)...

and they are womans stories from womans lives, just every day thoughts.  I hope they know how much I appreciate theyre work and love remaking new things with what they have created...

Our pasts all sandwiched together...speaking of pasts, I had a past life regression done last week and have spent the whole weekend trying to relax while all the energy we released left my body, not an easy task when it was all anger.  Grumpy cow alert!!  In a nut shell the life we went into was that of a boy, he was young and lived on a hill with his parents, the father ran the town below of peasants and farmers, all I ever wanted to do was go and play with the kids but was not allowed to associate with the town folk, I was taught to not trust them, and so had a very frustrating lonely childhood and was very angry at my parents.  When my father died I took over his job and ran the town very well, finally I was going to interact with the people, but it was still not to be because they were nice to my face because they had to be but bitched constantly behind my back and I knew of everyones dislike of me.  Pretty sad really and explains so much of my life.  Its nice I was regressed by my Reiki healer and she went in and found the story so it could not be over interprepted by me.  Poor woman, as soon as we were done I was so angry with her, I had no idea till Sunday what was going on because all my past stuff has been releasing as pain and sadness, anger was a whole new ball game.  But thankfully that is gone now....

I then found a book on her shelf called "Past Lives, Future Lives" by Jenny Cockell, an amazing story of understanding how reincarnation works, this is one of my favorite books now.  i loved it.  and I read a book! for the first time in 2 years, Im sure most mothers know this feeling....

And because i cant help but destroy books in the name of art, here is my new obsession... beautiful covered books with gold patterning...

and then I set to work with my knife and cut for what seems like forever, they are shrine book that will hang on your wall or just be in your book shelf, whenever you need to pray or talk or be thankfull, all you need to do is open the cover....

So far this one has only been cut, it has alot of work to be done, and that is Tara dancing around in her beautiful glowing sari...

So lots to do... I am doing my first photos for the tea party today, mine is rather weather permitting so hopefully the weeks weather holds out, how nice for you all to be doing this in spring!!!

have a wonderful week getting your parties together

much love
